Way back in 2009 when I was working on the One Piece Ultimate Bonus... I lamented the fact that I wasn't able to include images of the cute Naval officer Lieutenant Tashigi in it. Good things come to those who wait. Now several years later, it is time to remedy that situation. :-)

(These are various webfinds of the lovely Naval Officer. The catalyst for this tribute is of course. Megahouse's Portrait of a Pirates Limited Edition Bathing Beauties Series first mentioned during Nico Robin's post.)

Tashigi's Figure is 1/8 scale (about 5" in height) and comes in multiple versions (A blue swimsuit and white swimsuit). The materials used in the figure are PVC Vinyl. The details of this figure are really good. You can see that the character has a shy blush and seems pretty uncomfortable in such the tight swimsuit. The expression seems to fit Tashigi pretty well since she is a rather modest. I've zoomed in on Tashigi's feet a lot preparing this tribute and the amount of detail in them is really impressive. Her toenails look like actual nails and the color of the skin tone of her soles and toes vary just enough to give them a realistic look to them. They beat any treasure the Grand Line could offer. :-D

Ok everyone...That's all for now. Have a great weekend and as always...more to come soon. ^_^

KingsSideCastle, I like the way you said this about Tashigi, "Her toenails look like actual nails and the color of the skin tone of her soles and toes vary just enough to give them a realistic look to them." That is beauty right there.
